Dear Faire People,
Once
again, the time approaches for preparation of the Sixth
annual Glastonbury
Renaissance Faire. The Glastonbury
Renaissance Faire is a celebration of life in the
history and legends
of Medieval and Renaissance Europe with something for all ages to
enjoy. We welcome
our many new and returning artisans and entertainers to this Glastonbury
Renaissance Faire
2005. We welcome back the Oregon Coast Aquarium as a major
sponsor and our two new Co-Sponsors, Pepsi
Cola of Newport, and La Quinta Inn.
Entertaining, interactive and educational, this event provides
wonderful
singers, and dancers to entertain. (Check "Performer" button for more
information.) There are also magicians, puppets and treasure
hunts for the young.
Visitors will enjoy the re-enactments of the days of chivalry and sword fighting, as knights, nobles and royalty including our own Queen Mary in colorful regalia visit the Faire. It is also an opportunity for regional artisans to display and sell their treasures. Visitors are encouraged to come in costumes of the period. The natural beauty of the South Beach State Park's ocean beach and dunes, wooded hills and glen, make the Glastonbury village site more than faire. All the modern conveniences that the city of Newport offers you are close by, but are discreetly masked by the abundant coastal pines enveloping this park. Through this festival we hope to raise public awareness about the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts and to benefit its ongoing activities. With the sponsorship and volunteerism from the private, civic and commercial members of our community, we will make this Faire experience both comfortable and enjoyable for all. We wish you well in all your endeavors. Due to our growth over the last six years, there is no parking space available at the Park to accommodate us. The Oregon Coast Aquarium is donating the RV Parking area across from the Aquarium in South Beachfor our use that weekend, and there will be free shuttle busses to take you direct to the Faire entrance.
